672. Self-Acceptance, Sensitivity + Change: Finding Your Center Amidst Chaos

In this insightful episode, Najwa Zebian, 4x best-selling author, speaker, and creator teaches us that embracing change has the power to enrich our lives. Najwa + Krista explore the nuances of loyalty, self-discovery, and the inspiration behind Najwa’s forthcoming book, The Only Constant.
Ahead, discover how to foster relationships that encourage self-acceptance and emotional bravery. Najwa + Krista also get real about dealing with grief and loss, as well as the surprising gifts that emerge as we move through intense periods of discomfort.

[@latoyacunningham508]

when I say that this epi was right on time....oof! I literally journaled this a.m. about a convo I had yesterday w a friend about recent decisions I've been incorporating into my life that aligns with my authentic self, for the betterment of my SELF; however these decisions are causing "disruptions" in the lives of others. Accepting that I don't have to explain my SELF to anyone other than my SELF. What a beautiful + reminding episode this has been. Thanks ladies💓
